Taking a knee and shaking your head at your corner is a definition of quitting IMO. Cotto may have lost that fight but he's better off now then Margarito.

I don't really blame Cotto for quitting. Having seen the photo of a bloody wrap on Margarito's hand, I'm fairly convinced he was using plaster in his gloves then, and probably has been for quite some time.
When some ******* cheats at the very top levels of this sport, to the extent he did, they deserved to be banned for life, rather than just a year, and every win they've had in the past should be called into question.
One of the things that really piss me off is his Cintron fights...kind of makes you wonder if Cintron would've been able to take those punches much better if they hadn't been filled with plaster. And Cotto has been in the ring with some big punchers before, but had never been beaten like that...
I hope the bastard never gets another fight.Comment

exactly compa, if Tony's fists would of been filled with the holy plaster there would of been nothing left of Cotto's face than just a big empty hole.

Cotto did the exact right thing, considering the circumstances and what we know now about Margarito.Comment

I'm not saying it's implausible, but it didn't look like Tony "buzzed" him it looked to me like he slowly broke him down which is the direct opposite of the way the fight should have turned out. The person who was administering the precise and methodical beating was the one who broke down late? Doesn't make sense. You gotta conced that much.Comment

I also think that Cotto doesn't give a flying **** if we think he quit or not...he is making millions...most of us won't make what he makes even if we saved every penny until we died.Comment

I admit he was done..but he didn't quit..there's a difference..
Cotto took the first knee..got up..and took a knee again..got up..and Evangelista got on the apron to throw the towel in and Cotto shook his head "NO"..he would have rather had the ref stop the fight..but at the end he was still standing!..
How did he quit tho?..he didn't stay in his corner..on his stool..he didn't remain on his knee for the full 10 count..he was up on his feet!..and evangelista threw the towel in!..Comment
